About · Volvo EW160

Overview

The Volvo EW160 is a wheeled excavator in the 17-tonne class, producing 150 hp and operating at a weight of 17200 kg. It is equipped with a bucket capacity of 0.78 m3, positioning it as a mid-size option within the wheeled-excavator segment. As a rubber-tyred machine, it combines the digging capability of a conventional excavator with on-road mobility, making it well suited to operations that require frequent repositioning between sites.

Typical applications

Where this machine is used

Wheeled excavators in this class are commonly deployed on urban construction, road maintenance, and utility work where tracked machines would be impractical or cause surface damage. The EW160 is well matched to drainage, pipe-laying, and earthmoving tasks that demand a balance between digging force and site mobility. Its size and bucket capacity make it a practical choice for contractors handling mid-scale civil and infrastructure projects.

Used-market inspection

What to check before buying

Prospective buyers should inspect the undercarriage components, tyres, and wheel hub seals carefully, as these are high-wear areas on wheeled excavators and condition varies significantly across used units. The condition of the boom, arm, and bucket pins and bushings warrants close attention, along with hydraulic cylinders for signs of seal leakage or scoring. A full service history review and an operational check of all hydraulic functions, including any auxiliary circuits, is advisable before purchase. Buyers sourcing units at the lower end of the price range should account for the likelihood of deferred maintenance and factor inspection findings into their overall acquisition assessment.

Current market

Price position

The European market average for the Volvo EW160 stands at EUR 88170, with a typical price range running from EUR 60880 to EUR 115726, reflecting the broad variation in age, condition, and specification across available units. The EW160 competes directly with the Hyundai HW160 and the Hyundai Robex180W, both of which occupy a comparable weight and power class and appear regularly in the used-equipment market as alternative options for buyers evaluating this segment.
